Sean Rowe

Our most recent episode features ANTI-recording artist Sean Rowe. Sporting a beard almost as deep as his voice, Sean is an extraordinary performer and writer. We wrote and recorded “The Coat” in less than three hours in a condo in Austin during the SXSW festival this year.

Based on a chord progression and a verse that Sean had been working on for 8 years, the song takes a dark turn when married to an idea Ben steals from Sean’s label-mate Tom Waits. You can hear more about the process on the behind the scenes video:
